The very best way to describe an illusion is smoke and mirrors mixed with confusion #vss365 #illusion

When I am old my body may be frail if that is meant to be but please, not my mind, the older I get the more I find I want to keep the illusion without the confusion #vss365 #illusion

Farewell Autumn lord, all hail the wolf that pale Winter king let his rule begin #vss365 #wolf

We who hunger for bellies filled by words, snack on verbs & metaphor but we want more, ravenous we dine, on text & tense divine, slurp & burp on synonym and noun gulping past participles down, we need a lexicon beside us to fill that empty space inside us #vss365 #ravenous

Word fever is what ails me an absurd condition which never fails me, the infection of inflection sings in my veins I hope it will forever remain, constant & so gladly endured providence let me not be cured, take away your healing pill ecstatic happy, & #elated to be ill #vss365

I woke up with this weird little Halloween poem in my head, I don't know why, but it's about a Teddy Boy. I give you Bethnal Duggie #POEMS #Halloween

Got myself into another poetry anthology-6 more poems will be in print in November : )

Everyone starts out naked, without baggage, direction, or will, carrying nothing but promise, and a big empty suitcase to fill #vss365 #start

Warning-smugness alert! My husband has really struggled with retirement. Today he sat in bed with a coffee, looking out of the window at the rain, he smiled and said 'we don't have to get up yet do we love' I nodded and we went back to doing the Wordle-finally he gets it!

All of us are rivers we travel separate routes to find the same ocean #VSS365 #travel

Reeds tall and slender #taper to the music of the water's ebb and flow, they have no need for knowledge of whatever might be happening below, giving out a sigh as the river passes by minding their own business as the kissing current teases & the breezes start to blow #vss365

A good life does not taper it expands with love for many things, and widens as we grow, fed by the joy that living brings #vss365 #taper

You don't own a cat, a cat will tolerate you when you finish your training #vss365 #training

Just bought sneakers are fresh and bright with a lovely scent of new, older ones are comfy friends but they only smell of phew! #vss365 #sneakers

Existence is a #lottery card, it can be disappointing expensive & hard, some of us are popular people pleasers, some of us are losers and some of us are teasers, some of us get scraped & thrown away which is which it's impossible to say you have to be in life to win life #vss365
